i know michael does because we agree on this. let me go to you because that answer i found -- >> you cut the funding -- >> -- adequate but only for a dae day. mr. steele, you say it's fair you a pay a lower tax rate than most americans, 13%. the top rate is 35% in your bracket. 35 for people in your tax bracket. tell the american people why that's fair, that you pay 13 for the tax reform that you let out and most people have to pace 35% top rate. >> well, in typical fashion, the liberal media has misled my record. so the reality is that i paid the 35% on that income when i earned it. i invested that income and then that money that i earned off of those investments, i paid what the cap gains rate is which is about 13%. the typical person out there making $50,000 a year, their effective rate, chris, if you know this, is about 5 to 7%. so i'm still paying more based on your argument. >> so money you make off of money, you only pay 13%. so if you don't sweat, you don't pay that rate? >> it's the law. >> we're trying to decide what th

what do you think, michael? i thought we were going to hit brown on somet >> i agree with susan on that, and i think it speaks to the overall tone in the senate and in the house, quite frankly, that you can't work with anybody. god forbid you actually announce ahead of time before an election that you intend to work with the other side to solve the nation's problems. i think she fell into that trap. i think susan had the right answer, the best answer would have been, i'm going to the senate to work on the people's business. that means working with everyone who's a colleague in the senate to solve the problem. so i'm not going to pick one side or the other. i'm there to work to solve the problems. i think that would have put her in a better position if you push back -- if david pushed back and said, well, specifically someone? then she could say, look, you're trying to divide me, divide my job up even before i get to do it. that's not how i'm going in to do and be a u.s. senator. i think that would have been a st
